Loulou de la Falaise Klossowski 1948-2011

The muse of Yves Saint Laurent


 ‎"She was just so unbelievably stylish. She had a way of putting together things
 — no matter which designer made them — that made them her own."

 ‎"She really exemplified what French chic is all about." "It was not a question of looking wealthy, 
but just looking chic," she said. "She had it in her blood."




 ‎"I'm not a very strict person. I'm more of an extravagant type of person," she once said.
 "I'll keep on mixing because it's more inspiring."


She was not afraid of color, which I love. She was also a great example of wearing bold jewelry.


Loulou de la Falaise Klossowski was a fashion-industry renaissance woman.











                                                     
                     






Loulou collaborates on the jewelry for Oscar de la Renta. 
Her bohemian chic style complements Oscar's uptown girl aesthetic.
















One of the top selling perfumes of the 1980-es, one of those bold, powerful, distinguishing, and timeless fragrances. Loulou is a controversial perfume that people either like, or dislike, the one that provoke different emotions, and indifference for sure is not one of them. Loulou is a fragrance dangerous like Pandora's Box. Loulou is like intoxicating dark red flower which allures you to the depth of dangerous and dark forest. Yet, it is not possible to resist. It is irresistible and once you are engrossed by its warm scent, you simply have to let go and follow it, you have to pick the forbidden fruit.

The perfume is built around the beautiful and sensual scent of Tiare flower, the Tahitian symbol of welcoming and generous offer. The top notes are composed of violet, plum black currant, marigold and anis; the heart of sweet Tiare flower is accentuated with the notes of tuberose, ylang-ylang and orange blossom; all that is followed by powdery trace of orris and Tonka bean, and sensual mix of vanilla and balsam. 

This sensual, wild and mysterious perfume is captured in an opaque blue and red flacon of a simple octagonal straight-lines shape that narrows towards the top. Earlier version of the bottle was designed like Alladin’s lamp with blue octagonal base and red spiky top. It comes in a cardboard outer box, painted in red flowers and colorful vegetation, against very dark forest decor.
